The political party Compromís is organizing its candidacies for upcoming elections in the Valencian region. 

At the regional level, Joan Baldoví has expressed his expectation to be the coalition’s candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat. Baldoví characterized the official designation process as a “formalism,” asserting that his role as syndic traditionally leads to such a candidacy. This claim was met with criticism from the People's Party, which labeled his confidence as “naive” due to the need for approval from various left-wing partners.

At the municipal level, the Compromís Gandia assembly has unanimously selected Esther Sapena as its candidate for the Gandia mayoralty in the May 2027 elections. Sapena, a current municipal spokesperson, intends to focus her platform on housing, climate change, public services, and the protection of the Valencian language.
